London : London was my first visit to Europe; I am convinced that it is a perfect blend of the old world and the new. Which is a better city, New York or London? I'd say London.

Chicago : Was in Chicago early part of December 06; the weather was extremely cold and windy however with clear skies and bright sunlight it made a good day for a photo walk-around. Many of these photos would not have been possible without the help of Rachna who played a great host.

Las Vegas : Vegas is much hype and hoopla about a stretch of just one mile - if you don't gamble and you don't have a carnal side you'd rather go to Europe or New York for the good food, great drinks and a sample of old world architecture.

Peru : Two nights before the quake struck in Peru we were whiling away time at Mira Flores in Lima waiting for our flight back to New York; apparently a few people have lost their lives in that area of Lima. I do hope Lisa, Elena and David - part of the group who extended their stay in Peru - are safe and having a great time in the jungle and at the Nazca lines (update - they are OK).

Peru is simply a fantastic experience, everything about it is unique and unforgettable - friendly and welcoming people, a juxtaposition of cultures, old and new architecture, the elevation and mountains, endless steps, trails and vistas, a variety of food and pisco, exquisite art and handicrafts, exotic alpacas and llamas. 

I hope the pictures will give you some sense : of the great set of folks I shared the adventure with; of Cusco, capital of the Inca civilization; of hiking and camping the ancient, arduous Inca trail; of the mystical, magical Machu Picchu; of serene Lake Titicaca, highest navigable lake in the world; of Peru's people, food, flora, wildlife, art and architecture.

Note - The pictures are arranged based on the date taken; so you will find pictures in the following order - in and around Cusco (Page 1), the Inca trail and Machu Picchu (Page 11) and Lake Titicaca (Page 20) 

I will get around to captioning and describing the pictures in due course, meanwhile, do leave behind your thoughts and comments below; Gracias!

Navajo Nation : "Today is a good day to die" - A Native American Indian greeting.
 
1800 miles by air, 900 miles by road and 40 miles by foot into the heart of Navajo Nation was simply a spectacular experience. Over 4 days, I had the opportunity to hike and photograph Antelope Canyon (over millions of years, running water has carved deep 'slots' into sandstone; sunlight filtering through the roof of the 'slots' create a brilliant display of color, light and shadow), Glen Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend (a captivating meander in the Colorado river which can be viewed from a steep cliff, high above the river bend), Monument Valley (isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert on the Colorado plateau), Painted Desert (multi-hued badlands of the Chinle formation rocks) and Meteor Crater (a 50,000 year-old meteorite impact site).

I do hope these pictures encourage you to follow my footsteps!

Yellowstone : It's surreal inside the world's largest volcano caldera - of geography; peaks, plains, badlands, rivers and lakes; of wildlife; bison, grizzlies, elk, eagles and wolves; of volcanic activity; geysers, springs, mudpots, terraces and fumaroles. Captured here are a few vignettes of an experience I recommend put on your "to do" list.
